# Positions

Players are allocated positions based on where they spend most of their time playing on the field. \
\
**GameDay Squad Football:**

* Forward (FWD)
* Midfielder (MID)
* Defender (DEF)
* Goalkeeper (GK)

Players may change their position throughout the year, however the position allocated to their [Player Card](https://gameday-squad.gitbook.io/gameday-squad/platform-features/player-cards) won't change for the remainder of that season. Player positions are reviewed annually by the GameDay Squad team and their [Player Card](https://gameday-squad.gitbook.io/gameday-squad/sports/football/broken-reference) is updated before the start of the following season. GameDay Squad uses StatsPerform (<https://www.statsperform.com/>) for positional analysis.&#x20;
